The other day after a very verbal emotional weekend discussion, my sister stopped by as we discussed her cancer and compared it to mine. Well I was floored at what my sister said. For over a year I have been lead to believe that my sister had a miracle and that her cancer was in reversal. Mine is no longer detected thought there are always current issues one deals with. Besides we are here to chat about my discussion with my sister.
My sister and I have always been close! Yes there are religious differences and the Gay issue has always been a challenge for her! But I know she loves me and Rob and we leave it at that.
As my sister and I chatted she tells me her cancer has spread to organs and basically all over her body! It's being maintained but there is no reversal! I looked at my sister totally different from that moment on! I will still give her an argument to remind her she is still living, but every time I see her I wonder if it's my last.
My sister loved dressing up as a girl and still does as women. Not having hair is something that bothers her more than losing her breasts to cancer a number of years ago. I write this with tears for I can't imagine life without my sister! I wish we could trade places! She is loving, patient, caring and what I call an angel on earth!
My sister always cares more about others and me than she does about herself. Every Friday she gets treatment to keep another week going and as she told me someday and no-one knows that day, she may be told just enjoy whets left. I honestly can tell you she won't tell us, though we will all know!
My sister will never read this, but in this world of emotions, down deep my sister knows, she is a part of me that can and never will be replaced!
For those lucky to have a sister like mine, treasure them for one day the treasure will be buried and gone!
You’re Bro!
